NATO to Fight Drug Traffickers in Afghanistan

[Reconstructed from Google Cache]

Here comes NATO.

NATO's expansion into southern Afghanistan will target drug warlords who are the root cause of growing violence, the force's commander said on Saturday.

NATO will embark on the biggest mission in its history on Monday when it takes over security from the U.S.-led coalition in six southern provinces, extending its authority to almost all of the country.

    What an amazingly provocative photograph. As much as I try to put my thoughts into words, nothing seems to do the job, perhaps later. Meanwhile I found more of Ahmed Masood here.

    How can I get a full sized image to send and print? These are the poster children for the US liberation of Afghanistan from the evil Taliban. They can scrounge so the US royalty and subjects don't have to buy kevlar toilet seats.
